Arrow Anyone know the drag coefficent?
Does anyone know the drag coefficient of the TL-S? I'm guessing its in the .3-.4 range...

It better be in the low .3 range. I would guess .33 to .34.

Look what I found on Carpoint:

Technical Features
The CL coupe, which is made in Marysville Ohio, is based on the TL platform and shares the same mechanical components. The steel unit body features galvanized panels but its aerodynamic finesse remains unknown; Acura hasn't published its drag coefficient.

That pisses me off that Honda/Acura is so secretive...guess we'll never know

I would say about 0.31-0.33..... If my S-Class can have "low"(for the size of the car)0.31, TL-S can do better!!!!

I remember 0.32 published a while back for the 3.2TL.

Incidentally, the lowest drag coefficient among all vehicles is shared by both the Honda Insight and the Lexus LS430 at 0.25.

also, the drag coefficient goes up with wider tires and spoliers and air dams...
